Glitches

After patch 1.07, there was a massive glitch involving the custom license plates of player's personal vehicles in story mode. The license plates on the personal vehicles of players would change so that they would read "ALAN 0". This glitch would get applied to the protagonists' personal vehicles (such as Michael's ObeyTailgater), and it would also rarely get applied to any vehicle inside one of the player's safehouse garages. This glitch seemed to be more prevalent among players who have a GTA Online account, and have used the Rockstar Social Club application to change their online vehicle's license plate. It is unknown what factor of the game caused this glitch, but it appears to have been patched at the 1.09 update, as it is not present in subsequent versions.

Big Smoke's car after his black Perennial is destroyed. The license number translates as either "A two-timing mother fucker", reflecting Big Smoke's two-faced attitude towards both the Grove Street Family and the Ballas, or "A two-tonne mother fucker", which is a play on his obesity, an early running gag in the game between Ryder, Carl, and Sweet. It is also a possible reference to the Cypress Hill song "A To The K", as the hook goes "A to the mother fucking K homeboy, A to the mother fucking K". This is a reference to the AK-47 rifle.

Importable in Easter Basin on Saturdays. A reference to Rockstar North's view toward EA Games at the time. Ironically, by the time San Andreas was released, Criterion Games, which made the RenderWare engine the GTA III Era games use, was acquired by EA.
